Saturday 12th March 2011

Doors open as usual at 8.30am. Gliders out, change ends and on with the fun.

The weather today was 8 knot winds SSE, With high cirrus, heavy cloud cover, poor visibility, not exactly a classic day.

The solo pilots amused themselves by trying to sustain their flights the longest despite the difficult conditions, ably assisted by very consistent winch driving from Sean, Rick and Mike. Youngster Matthew Wiles spent his time getting more acquainted with the SF27 which he flies thanks to it’s owner Martin who did manage one launch in it himself.

Sean waits patiently in the ML winch for the next launch

Mark Lowrey made good use of Don’s time continuing his progress towards solo. Alan and Andrew Carter completed more flights towards their Bronze flight tests and Alan also passed his Bronze exam. Well done.

A quiet day? I don’t think so.
